What’s life really like for prison lifers — the convicted killers, the masterminds, the ones who will never walk free again? In this eye-opening episode, we uncover the real, raw, and unfiltered truth about what happens behind bars for inmates like Donna Adelson, who’s now serving life in prison for orchestrating the murder of her ex–son-in-law, FSU law professor Dan Markel. Once living a life of luxury and control, Donna Adelson is now facing a stark new reality — from prison politics to daily survival, it’s a world few can imagine. But what really awaits lifers like her inside? Join STS and Joel Waldman as we pull back the curtain on life without parole, exposing the harsh realities and untold truths that few dare to talk about in this one-one-one STS Special with John Debell. #JusticeforDanMarkel #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #JusticeForDanMarkel #PrisonLife #Lifers #STSThanks for supporting the show and being a part of #STSNation!
